Artist Bio:
Roy Orbison was an American singer-songwriter known for his distinctive voice and emotional ballads. Born on April 23, 1936, in Texas, Orbison rose to fame in the 1960s with hits such as "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Crying," and "Only the Lonely." His powerful three-octave range and operatic vocal style set him apart from his contemporaries, earning him the nickname "The Caruso of Rock."


Orbison's career was marked by both commercial success and personal tragedy, including the deaths of his first wife and two of his sons in separate accidents. Despite these setbacks, Orbison continued to create music and perform throughout his career. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and is considered one of the most influential artists in the history of rock and roll. Orbison passed away on December 6, 1988, leaving behind a lasting legacy of timeless music that continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
